A_Modest_Proposal

A Modest Proposal I am going to end up talking much more upon what Swift is saying in his essay than I am on what Montaigne is. I believe that Montaigne and his essays are very important, but I believe that his essays are easier to understand than it is to understand Swift’s “A Modest Proposal.” I believe that Montaigne wrote more for himself and saw that maybe others could learn from him. After reading the preface to the “Reader of Essays” section of the book, I believe that he was introducing his essays as his own personal reflections. It seems as if he wrote the essays as a way to vent on how he saw people as well as how he saw himself. It also seems that after he wrote down the harsh truths that he saw in humanity as well as in himself, as he saw it, he felt that his essays might be sources that other people could relate to and learn from. In his essay “Of Repentance” I do not believe that he was bragging about himself as it apparently seems he might be.
